Chapter 805 [0793] Fish-Man War

After realizing that the leader of the Murloc War was likely to be Renekton, Azir was quite excited.

The significance of an Ascendant is needless to say. It not only represents strong personal strength, but also means rich experience in command. Although Azir's "New Shurima" is still in the farming stage, Nasus' main job is to clean and transport the books in the Great Library, but it is foreseeable that the future of this road may not always be peaceful.

The communication with other organizations in Shurima will be quite enthusiastic when necessary, and a capable Nasus is undoubtedly very important.

So, after getting the news, Nasus immediately put down his work and set off to the west.

……………………

The news of the Murloc War is not difficult to find out, because the scale of this war has been so large that it has affected the local situation.

When Nasus arrived at the Foma Peninsula, traces of the war were already everywhere. Just find a tavern and order a drink, and the waiter behind the bar will be willing to tell you about this increasingly fierce war.

In fact, although the merchants who traveled to the Mermaid Sea went to Antahil to "ask for help", for the locals, this war was a very interesting thing.

According to them, those Bakay seemed to exist in a ruin that was once sealed underground, and those Mermaids never left the sea in the past. These two forces had nothing to do with the locals.

So for the locals, this war was actually quite interesting. Even in their boredom after dinner, they would go to the coast in groups to watch the battle and watch Bakay fight against the Mermaids.

The strange-looking Bakay looked very curious, and the wet upper body of the Mermaid exposed above the water was quite perfect. This war between beauty and the beast was undoubtedly quite interesting, so the locals would share this war as a topic of conversation in any tavern.

Thanks to these gossiping people, Nasus soon had a general understanding of this Mermaid War.

There were many different opinions about the cause of the war, but the more credible one was that the two sides seemed to be fighting for something.

It seems that this thing originally belonged to the merman, and was later snatched away by the Bakai. However, it must be used in the sea, so every time the Bakai used it, the merman would come to fight for it - and then the two sides would fight to their heart's content in the shallow water.

As for what was being snatched and why it could only be used in the sea, these were unknown to the onlookers.

After initially understanding the identities of both parties and the purpose of the battle, Nasus felt a little more confident.

Then, he began to continue westward, following the traces on the beach all the way, tracing the traces of the battle line.

This was a difficult task - although the scale of the merman war was not small, and even affected the local trade routes, the location of the battle seemed to have no rules at all. Even though the Foma Peninsula was the place with the highest frequency of battles, it took considerable luck to see the battle with one's own eyes.

According to the spectators, the mermaids in the sea would not show up on the water before they appeared, and it was almost impossible to discover them in advance; and those Bakai would not move on the ground at ordinary times, but would walk through the ancient ruins underground, so it was completely a matter of chance to see the battle.

But the problem is, as far as Nasus knows, the Foma Peninsula was a very famous golden beach resort during the Shurima Empire era. There are no large-scale underground ruins here. The magic network waterways of the Shurima Empire era are not enough for the Bakai to appear and disappear...

Especially after Nasus confirmed the locations of large-scale battles that had occurred in the past as much as possible, the result was even more puzzling - he could not find any meaningful pattern no matter how he studied these places on the map.

It seems that this group of Bakai are running around in underground passages that they are completely unaware of, while the mermaids on the other side are patrolling near the coast. Once a large number of Bakai are found, they will mobilize people to interrupt the ceremony and fight for the treasure.

If you want to encounter a battle, it is completely a matter of luck!

And Nasus's luck has never been very good. If he just relies on luck, he doesn't know when he will meet Renekton.

Since waiting for the rabbit is not feasible, it is necessary to take the initiative.

Considering the positions of both sides, Nasus decided to go to the place where the battle had taken place, to see where the Bakays disappeared, and to see the entrances and exits of those underground passages.

However, when Nasus began to inquire about the places where the Bakays disappeared, the well-informed tavern soon could not meet his requirements - although he could also learn a little about the place where the Bakays disappeared in the tavern, those words were too outrageous, and the areas they pointed to were also very different.

If you rely on the information in the tavern to find the secret passage of Bakay, the efficiency may not be as good as waiting for something to happen.

In this case, Nasus might as well go to investigate in person.

Large-scale battles will always leave traces, even if they are covered up afterwards, there will definitely be some clues left.

With this information, plus the planning map of the Foma Peninsula in his hand, Nasus believes that he may be able to find some clues in it.

Even if he really can't find it...

Then try to wait for something to happen!

Having been separated from Renekton for thousands of years, Nasus has good patience.

……………………

The sea water in the Mermaid Sea is very clean. Even on cloudy days, the sea water in the offshore areas shines like sapphire.

However, Nasus, who was stepping on this fine beach, had no desire to look at the sea - from beginning to end, his eyes fell on the gravel, as if he wanted to see every grain of sand clearly, looking for any possible clues. .

There was a large-scale conflict on this beach a month ago. According to locals, Bakai and the sharks fought until the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dark. They watched from the hills in the distance. Cool.

However, according to the results of Nasus' personal survey, the scale of this battle may not be large.

Whether it is the scale of the gravel dug out or the number of shark scales under the beach, they all prove the boasts of the locals.

Nasus was used to this.

Along the way, local people who have seen the conflict between the two sides will almost always choose to use the most exaggerated language to describe the battle - those who have actually seen the battle with their own eyes are lucky, the bloody scenes will make them remember the battle. Awe; but those who did not see the battle with their own eyes, but only saw some traces of it afterwards, are often the best at blowing it with their eyes closed.

These contents caused great disturbance to Nasus. After being misled several times, Nasus finally determined that he could believe the nature of such bragging at the wine table, but he could never believe its extent.

In other words, he could believe what the locals said about "when and where a battle took place", but he really couldn't believe it at all about the situation of the battle.

You'd be a fool if you believed it.

Just like this beach, although the sharks took away their own bodies when they left, judging from the shark scales remaining in the gravel, there were probably no more than ten sharks who died here.

In this case, the scale of the battle between the two sides would probably not be too large, at least it would definitely not be the "ten thousand people team battle" that Nasus heard about in the tavern yesterday.

Leaning down, Nasus dug out a piece of shark scale from the gravel, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The scales were still intact, shining slightly even on a cloudy day.

Put it under your nose and smell it. The fishy smell of the sea is already very light.

There are no signs of corrosion or damage by elements or energy on the scales. Instead, there are obvious signs of fracture at the roots. From this point of view, this shark scale was chopped off with a sharp instrument.

Since a shark would quickly secrete a mucus to cover the wound after a wound appeared on the human body, Nasus did not find any shark blood that could directly tell the time.

"I hope the locals didn't take the initiative to plow the beach." Nasus muttered under his breath, and then began to dig up the gravel with his cane. "It would be great if we could find some Bakai tissue."

Along the way, Nasus also discovered many shark scales. The scales were of different sizes and had different reasons for falling off, but he did not find any tissue or blood from Bakai.

This is very strange.

According to the locals, in almost every battle, Bakai withdrew from the battlefield first, followed by the sharks. It seemed that the sharks were the victors.

As a result, even the victors did not clean up the battlefield. Instead, the side that retreated first left no traces. Nasus had walked through five beaches, but there was no useful information about Bakai. get.

Not to mention following Bakai's traces to find the secret passages where they haunted.

Judging from the traces of the battle, these Bakai simply disappeared out of thin air!

How is this possible?

If there weren't a lot of sightings, the trade routes were blocked by the sharks, and there were shark scales on the battlefield, Nasus might have doubted the authenticity of the fish-men war.

After all, there are only traces of the winning side on the battlefield, but no traces of the losing side. This kind of thing is quite outrageous no matter how you look at it!

However, as Nasus searched for clues and became more and more confused, a chance conversation between two drunkards in the tavern gave him a flash of inspiration.

The topic of these two drunkards was about hiding private money - for middle-aged men, hiding private money seems to be an eternal topic, and sharing the method of hiding private money with drinking friends seems to contain a kind of sharing. The wonderful joy of secrets.

Nasus, who was drinking by himself and trying to collect some useful information with his ears open, found that there was no useful information on other tables, so he simply "learned" how to hide private money without being asked.

One of the main ways an alcoholic hides his personal money is by hook or by crook, that is, by hiding it in places where it seems impossible to hide it.

It is the best choice to carry it with you in the heel. It can be placed under the insole without anyone noticing.

Under the water lilies in the fish pond is a perfect saving spot. As long as you put the silver coins here, they will never be discovered.

Although Nasus had never hidden personal money before, he smiled and listened with interest—and it was quite interesting.

However, when another drunkard talked about his method of hiding private money, Nasus suddenly stopped laughing.

"This trick of yours is not safe at all. If you are really discovered, you will never be able to explain it clearly."

"Then what can you do?" said the drunkard who was hidden in the fish pond and brought out under the shoe insole. "Is there a more secretive way than this?"

"Of course!" When he said this, the drunkard from before chuckled, "Buy a ceramic piggy bank, and then put it in the most conspicuous place at home. Use it to keep change, and then hide your personal money. Just stay inside!”

"What kind of private money is this?" The first drunkard said disdainfully, "If your wife needs money and takes all your private money, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

"Stupid, can't you buy a bigger jar and put more change in it?" At this point, the drunkard shook his head and poured himself a glass, "As long as your jar is big enough, heavy enough, and difficult to carry, the opening is small enough, and you can only take money out one by one, then no one will know how much money is in it."

The other drunkard was obviously a little drunk. He nodded a little confused, and then shook his head again, as if he didn't quite understand.

"This is called the best way to hide a drop of water is to hide it in the sea."

"No, that's not right - this is because your private money is too little, and it can be put in a jar if it is changed into copper coins..."

"You fucking..."

"..."

Although this seems to be just an unintentional remark by the two drunkards, Nasus was greatly inspired.

Perhaps hiding private money in this way is likely to disappear, but hiding traces of Bakay in this way is very likely.

What if the tissues left by Bakay are all sand?

Then, on a vast beach, even if Nasus searches carefully, he may not find any traces!

Realizing this, Nasus finally couldn't help squinting his eyes - at this moment, he couldn't help but think of Karya.

Now Karya's body is completely made of yellow sand. Is this a clue?

If those Bakays have special forms, and have elemental bodies like Karya, and are made of yellow sand, then they are likely not to leave any traces on the beach.

After all, leaving some sand on the beach is no different from leaving no traces.

Thinking of this, Nasus quickly took out the map.

After unfolding the map, his eyes fell on the marked battlefield locations - and these locations are without exception, the bathing beaches and golden beaches of the Shurima Empire.

This also verified his guess from the side that the tissues left by Bakay are likely not flesh and blood!

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Nasus felt as if he had found the direction.
